Mcllroy, 26, and Harrison, 25, were unanimously acquitted of lesser charges connected to the alleged incident in Jackson’s south Belfast home in June 2016.

McIlroy was found not guilty of exposure. Harrison was found not guilty of perverting the course of justice and withholding information.

Gerry Simpson QC, representing a number of print and broadcast news organisations, said: "Our application is that there is no longer any prohibition in reporting any matter which occurred in open court."
